What Causes Tickling And Crawling Sensation On The Skin Around Vagina?

I am 22 years old. Almost a month ago, I have started to exprience this tickling/crawling sensation on the skin around my vagina and sometimes inside the lips (I don t the correct terminology). I can not tell if it is because I have shaved, and now the hair is making me itchy or if I have picked up on something? At the same time, my boyfriend and I have tried anal sex for the first and LAST time. I made sure he washed his penis THREE times and thoroughly before he were to have intercourse with me the next day, and it was a month ago too, and it was not until after that experiment, when i started to feel it. It is driving me nuts, and it is usually on the same particular spot. I have done a self examination but I do not see anything out of the ordinary. I plan on going to the doctor soon but I want to have an idea on what it may be.

Hello,

I can understand your concern. Little itchy feeling in one to two days after shaving the area is expected attributed to starting of re-growth of hair. As you shaved it with probably razor, the new hair coming will be hard, too. However, this feeling will disappear once the hair will grow more. So there is nothing to worry about. You can use waxing or hair removal cream next time if you find them convenient.

As you are already going for a physical examination by doctor, if there will be signs of infection, he/she will be able to diagnose it easily from the exam and will prescribe medications for it if needed.

I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
